I’m currently using a hard drive and there are symptoms of my hard drive failing and next Friday 24th September, I’ll be taking it to warranty service. I’m constantly losing data for the past week, so there is a chance they’ll replace the drive. Now, I tried to look up some youtube tutorial about how to backup and restore the rewards in my BAT wallet. Currently there are about 0.446 BAT pending probably as it shows estimated reward so far and 0.750 BAT in my account. Among the tutorials available, one mentioned a backup code option and using that code to restore the BAT. However, it seems like that option isn’t available anymore and you need to connect an “Uphold” account but that requires 15 BAT to open an account which I don’t have. I tried to manually open an account if that was an option and turns out Uphold isn’t available in my region. So is there any way to backup my BAT at all? or I’m going to lose all progress once I change my hard drive?
What Operating System and Brave version are you using (Windows 10 20H2, OS Build 19042.1237, Brave Version 1.27.108 Chromium: 92.0.4515.107 (Official Build) (64-bit)
)?
Is your browser wallet currently verified? (no)
Have you been able to successfully receive payments in the past?
=> I never tried withdrawing before, I’ve only been using Brave for 2 months+
Are you using a VPN? (no)
Are you in a supported region (Yes I am, my country is listed)?
Does your device pass the [SafteyNet] (Currently I don’t own a smartphone, the old one’s battery died and due to lockdowns, I haven’t been able to buy a phone or replace the old battery yet)?
Have you manually turned off Auto-contribute on all of your devices linked to Uphold??
=> Yes, I only use PC to use Brave and auto-contribute is tuned off caz I don’t fully understand how it works yet, so turned it off.
